Gatto- I read 6 lessons by Gatto, and i found that it was very interesting what he was saying about school. I felt Gatto was saying that as student we are kind of like robots. We come to school because we have to, we sit in a classroom under light and are just told information that we must remember to be able to pass the class. I agree with him because we go from class to class take notes and gain information then go to the next class with only a short amount of time to get there and do the same thing. If we want to do anything different like use the bathroom or get a drink of water we have to ask the teacher (or at lest let the teacher know) so the can be able to keep count of the students . we do the same thing over and over all year that we do it with out thinking about it. This is why people may view school as a wast of time, because the been doing the same thing for so long.

Freire - when reading Freire's second chapter of pedagogy of the oppressed, I learned that he pay attention to relationships between the teacher and the student. He said that the relationship includes the narrating subject being the teacher and the listening objects being the student. although this was the opening of the reading it made a lot of since to me because, when we go to school the teacher is there to stand up in front of the class and teach then the information they need to learn. It's the students job to listen while the teacher narrates . For the most part school works this way because if a teacher want's the students attention and they don't give it to them the are punished some way.

I'm not sure but i think Delpit was making the point that each student learn different from each other. I think she was saying that some student can be told something once and the will be able to get but on the other hand some students have to be told or showed something more then one time to get, so it far for them to be put in the same class? Are the smarter kid being held back? Are the slower kids being pushed to hard and aren't able to keep up ? I think that kids that are on different should be put together so they are giving equal chance and they are able to rely on each other for help.
